What were initially rumors have now been confirmed by Trump and his staff, who stated that a formal offer has been sent to Juan Carlos de la Cuesta, the team’s president.

Although an official price has yet to be released, Colombian news outlet Pulzo is reporting that a figure of 100 million US dollars has been circulating throughout the football community.

De le Cuesta, on the other hand, released a statement saying neither he nor his organization have received a formal offer. He went on to declare that his intention is to stay with the team.

Donald Trump has already done his part to attract notoriety in Colombian news. A current Republican party candidate in the United States president race, Trump made controversial statements about Mexican-Americans that led Latinos worldwide to condemn him and in some cases boycott institutions with which he is affiliated.

Trump heads the Miss Universe beauty pageant, a contest who’s reigning queen is Colombia’s Paulina Vega. After Vega blasted Trump his comments on Latinos, Trump countered by calling her a hypocrite and suggesting she give up her crown. Vega’s controversial refusal became national news in her home country.
